Abstract: The book contains the results of the first-year Design Studios within the bachelor's degree program in Science of Architecture of the Department of Architecture, University of Naples "Federico II". Each Studio is structured in two semesters: in the first one students attend the course of Theories of Architecture; in the second one they develop the project exercise within the Design Studio. The courses share the work on the Valley of Temples in Agrigento, as part of IncipitLab, the Italian coordination of the first-year Design Studios. The results, collected here, builds a wealth of reflections both within the general dimension of teaching – despite the persistence of the pandemic situation – and in the dimension of each specific context, through original contributions which, far from being a definitive answer to the issue, try to express plausible possibilities.
